DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Denis Ivanov (NRC "Kurchatov Institute" - PNPI)\nExp
 eriments searching for elastic scattering of non-relativistic dark matter 
 (DM) particles off nuclei lose sensitivity at DM masses below 1 GeV\, sinc
 e light particles transfer to nuclei energy below the detection threshold.
  Scattering off electrons enables partial probing of the region of lighter
  particles. Relativistic particles can arise from the acceleration of DM b
 y cosmic-ray particles\, the neutrino background\, supernova emission\, an
 d a number of other processes. Boosted dark matter (BDM) particles can pro
 duce a detectable signal in existing neutrino detectors or DM detectors up
 on interaction with electrons or nuclei.\n\nThe Borexino solar neutrino de
 tector possesses an important advantage associated with a record-low backg
 round level when searching for BDM signals in the few-MeV range. In the cu
 rrent work\, we analyze the energy spectrum data of the Borexino detector 
 [1\, 2] with the aim of searching for events from BDM particles accelerate
 d by cosmic-ray electrons and the diffuse supernova neutrino background.\n
